Does anyone know when the warrants will be available to the public? I think the selectmen are voting on them on the 19th, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Also, I believe they are no longer mailed, so where are the locations you can grab them other than town hall? I'd guess the library and senior center,but anywhere else? Thanks!

Town Warrants for Annual May 2016 Town Mtg. are now online for downloading and hard copies should be made available at the 'usual' places soon if they're not in fact there already. Town Hall, Tewksbury Public Library and the Senior Center are the places I know of.

***WORTHY TO NOTE***.....Why are there NO MAPS included depicting the area in question attempting to be re-zoned in both Articles 30 and 31? They REEK of vagueness! Attendees BEWARE.....both should be shot down. I smell a big 'ol rat!

Why more residential lots?We need more businesses. Somehow we are not able to attract businesses.Is town "encouraging" businesses to take empty lots on the Main street between Walgreens/Firestation and Shawsheen st?

There are a lot of warrant items that are not getting a lot of press, actually. FYI there seems to be a lot more chatter in some local FB groups about TM. It'll be interesting to see if it makes a difference in attendance.

The new elementary school & full time Kindergarten for free. But it's really been TM in general that has been getting the most questions - how does it work? how do you vote? does everything get votes etc.

It's nice to see so many people engaged. I'm just waiting to see if those who are most curious and/or engaged about the process come to TM this time around.

Annual Town Mtg. starts TONIGHT Mon. May 2nd @ 8pm @ TMHS for all things related to the Town budget expenditures.

Special Town Mtg. is Wed. May 4th @ 7pm

The REST of the Annual is resumed starting at 8pm. THIS is where/when the REZONING ARTICLES will be voted on.....particularly Articles 30 and 31 which I encourage you to vote NO on both. One is for the rezone of 3 acres of land in the middle of a pre-existing residential neighborhood on the 'premise' of moving the Pike house there while cramming in 15 Townhouses as well in exchange. BAD idea.... reminds me of the 'bait and switch' zoning change Scarano pulled in exchange for renovating the Lee House. Condos have long been built yet all these years later we are still waiting on the completion of the other. In the Pike House case there is no guarantee once AND IF it's moved that it will be kept 'Historical' by definition in perpetuity and isn't that the point? And secondly, a private developer should not be profiting using the Pike House as leverage while decimating a neighborhood. Wrong on many levels. The other rezone has to do with 100 acres at Ames Pond (including the body of water as part of the density configuration) proposed to be changed from current Office/Research to MFD a.k.a. multifamily. HELLO?? When is enough ENOUGH??!! Hasn't our Town changed (and not for the better) and been overburdened enough by these developers? Are they not rich enough yet? Please ATTEND and vote NO to both these articles on Wednesday night. BE THERE.

Vote NO on all rezoning articles. We especially do not need another 192 units in four story buildings. Kiss my ass on that one sick of these builders thinking they are entitled to ruin our town to line their pockets.
